Parkbench, Oct 7 2012

•Please pray for Connie Sinkler-Thomas who sustained a horrific accident and broke her right arm. She is resting at home. Pray for healing and that she is

cared for and her needs are supplied during her recovery. Praise God for Shirley Bruno’s continued recovery. She

is getting the use of her leg back and is now able to drive herself around.

Pray for Jan Palmer’s brother, Dwayne who has been diagnosed with lung cancer in both lungs

and is in Langley Memorial Hospital. Pray for healing, comfort and peace for him and Jan. Continue to pray for Shannon’s father Peter. He has a leaky heart valve & that was causing the

dizzy spells. He is not a good candidate for surgery so he will be meeting with a cardiologist to discuss his prognosis. Please pray for peace for Peter & family.

Pray for Kim Vannadil’s mother who is in hospital in Korea after surgery after a stroke. Please

pray for complete recovery from the stroke and peace for Kim who is very worried about her

mother.

Happening Toda y

When you come to church, you don’t need to be experienced in the game of church. As a matter of fact, we try hard to ensure that nobody feels engaged in any kind of religious game. At Parkland, you don’t have to dress up in a particular uniform. You don’t have to be a particular age. Most of all, you don't have to feel the need to pretend to be anything other than who you really are. Just come as you are, pick up a cup of coffee or tea, and relax! One thing is for sure—no experience is necessary.

Our Worship Service is at 9:00am or 10:45am on Sunday Mornings.

Please continue to pray for the individuals and families in our community that are struggling to make ends meet. We have no groceries gift cards left and our food cupboard supply is quickly depleting. We would appreciate any contribution you can make so that together we can meet the needs of those who knock on our door looking for help.

Welcome Team Opportunities As this new season is starting up, there are openings for new Greeters and Coffee Servers. If you are interested in serving in these areas, please contact Leana at [email protected].
